Mountain Musings with Uncle Mott: Silly Headlines

A friend of mine in the Bay Area recently emailed me some interesting headlines. These are actual headlines that have appeared in other news journals. They are guaranteed to keep you in stitches… Well, I thought they were funny and I’ve taken the liberty of inserting...

Some folks never tire of complaining about the rain. They complain when there’s not enough, and they complain again when we finally get some and they want it to stop. I call them “Complainers.” Yes, we’ve had more than our fair share of precipitation in the last few...
